The Biewer (pronounced Bee-vair) Terrier, also called the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier and the Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom Pon, is a rare breed of toy dog which originated in Germany.
Biewer Yorkshire a la' Pom Pon, pronounced (Bee-vir) was started by in January 1984. Mr. Werner Biewer and his wife, Mrs. Gertrud Biewer, residents of Germany, founded the first Biewer Yorkshire "Schneeflocken von Friedheck". This occurred when they bred two traditional yorkies, "Darling von Friedheck" and "Fru Fru von Friedheck" (both youth winners at Dortmund in 1981) who both happened to share the same recessive piebald gene.
Mr. Biewer worked on this finding to perfect the coloring which were white across the chest, stomach and legs, This also included the tip of the tail. He began showing the Biewer in 1988. He then worked towards having the dogs recognized as their own breed. His first attempt, with the VDH failed but later found success in the ACH (or so it was called while still in operation) and the breed was finally declared a breed of its own.
In 1997, Mr. Werner Biewer died but his efforts for his treasured breed will grace homes of Biewer owners and will live on through their work.
To date, the American Kennel Club (AKC) does not recognize the Biewer as a breed. In Dec. of 2007 the American Rare Breed Association(ARBA) accepted the Biewer Terrier as a rare breed. For the past 6 years the Biewer has been able to be shown within the North American Kennel Club (NAKC) and the International All Breed Canine Association (IABCA) as a rare breed. The first Biewer Club to show under these venues has been the Biewer Breed Club of America Inc., BBCA. The first registry here in America that accepts only Biewer to Biewer breedings is the BBIR, Biewer Breed International Registry.
